Configuring the catalog

The RPI catalog is used to improve performance by maintaining, within the RPI server’s memory, a representation of the underlying state of the data warehouse, and any configured auxiliary databases, and associated count data.

The Catalog configuration interface is used to:

• Provide visibility of the data warehouse catalog (and the catalogs of any configured auxiliary databases).

• Invoke the en masse creation of attributes based on a selected database table.

• Initiate the re-synchronization of the catalog with the data warehouse or an auxiliary database.

• Clear down any attribute count data held on the server.
